The decision from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hlcommission.org\/Students-Communities\/february-2024-actions.html\">Institutional Actions Council of the HLC<\/a> follows the completion of Dunwoody\u2019s 10-year comprehensive evaluation in fall 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the evaluation, the HLC determined that Dunwoody has successfully met all criteria and core components \u2013 with no concerns. Dunwoody\u2019s next Reaffirmation of Accreditation will take place in 2033-2034.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, accreditation by the HLC is validation of the high quality of academic offerings provided at Dunwoody. In addition to academics, institutional accreditation evaluates the College as a whole, including governance and administration, adherence to mission, financial sustainability, and sufficiency of resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HLC accreditation also means Dunwoody students remain eligible to receive government funding for student financial aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">\u201cThis decision by the HLC is a testament to the quality, rigor, and value of a Dunwoody education,\u201d said President Rich Wagner. \u201cDunwoody remains focused on our mission of changing lives by building opportunities for graduates to have successful careers in high paying, in-demand technical fields. That commitment was evident throughout the evaluation process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the final report, that dedication to Dunwoody\u2019s mission was called out by the review panel: \u201cIn meetings with the Board of Trustees, administration, faculty, and staff, the visiting team observed an unyielding commitment and passion for Dunwoody\u2019s mission, as well as a collaborative, engaged and high-performance culture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 10-year comprehensive evaluation takes place over a number of years, involves a multitude of stakeholders, and culminates in a site visit by a team of peer reviewers. Provost Scott Stallman extended a thank you to everyone who participated in the process, including faculty, staff, students, administrators, and the Board of Trustees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ABOUT DUNWOODY COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 1914, Dunwoody College of Technology is the only private, not-for-profit technical college in the Upper Midwest.
